This has really been one of the most frustrating seasons of basketball for the Michigan Wolverines in a long time. They have shown they have the capability to blow teams out and look like a juggernaut against Purdue and Michigan State, but they have way too many inconsistencies to be even be considered among the Big Ten’s elite.
A tough 82-71 home loss to the red hot Iowa Hawkeyes — who got a combined 42 points from the exceptional performances of Keegan and Kris Murray — doesn’t necessarily kill Michigan’s NCAA Tournament chances, but it’s going to be an uphill over battle over the next week and a half.
